BlazeMeter Offers Free Load Testing for Startups

NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

BlazeMeter,
provider of the JMeter-based load testing cloud, today launched its new
support program for startups that offers a free, six-month package
of its open source compatible load testing cloud services to qualifying
startups. Now, startups can ensure their Web pages and mobile
applications will hold up under high demand and perform as expected,
delivering a seamless user experience when brought to production. The
new program provides startups with 20 free performance tests per month
for up to 1,000 users per two-load servers, and two weeks of data
retention - a savings of more than $2,000 a year.

For many burgeoning startups, provisioning dozens of their own test
servers and managing the distribution of large-scale load tests can
present significant cost and agility barriers. BlazeMeter's cloud-based
testing solution, however, solves these problems for startups and
maximizes the speed at which development teams can gather valuable load
testing metrics by offering the best options for scalability, cost
savings and geographic reach. The BlazeMeter cloud, which is 100 percent
compatible with Apache JMeter, also allows developers and operations
teams to select which global locations they want to review the load and
response times of their applications for without having to stand up a
data center in each location.

"We want to lend a hand to our fellow startups with this package, which
will allow them to run sophisticated, large-scale performance and load
tests quickly, easily and affordably," said Alon Girmonsky, founder and
CEO, BlazeMeter. "Traditional load testing solutions can be complex and
time consuming, especially for smaller-scale strtups that have limited
infrastructure, bandwidth and financial resources. Our solution helps
these companies be as agile as they can be, get more iterations in per
day and achieve seamless capacity planning in minutes. Faster testing
means they can roll out new products and updates more quickly, and with
the absolute confidence that it will scale to meet demand and perform
under the most strenuous circumstances."

BlazeMeter is a self-service, Web and mobile load testing platform
provider, offering developers an enterprise-grade, turnkey performance
testing solution that is 100 percent compatible with Apache JMeter™. It
is the load testing platform of choice for more than 15,000 customers at
companies including Citi, Nike, Walmart, Thomson Reuters, Adobe (News - Alert), Disney,
Cubic Corporation, KGM Gaming, Pfizer and many more. BlazeMeter can run
multiple load tests that easily simulate scalability from 50 to more
than 500,000 concurrent users from both public clouds or inside the
corporate firewall. It significantly simplifies the performance testing
process by providing developers with easy integration into their native
development environment, unlimited on-demand load testing capacity,
sophisticated results analysis and distributed testing across multiple
geographic locations. For more information, please visit www.blazemeter.com,
